We have updated the Aruna Send Yahoo Widget. The changes are as follows:

- Added ability so send a message to the recipient
- Added French, Swedish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese localizations
- Extended the file drag and drop area
- Fixed UTF-8 encoding bug
- Improved memory usage

If you already have the Aruna Send Yahoo Widget, you should be asked to update when you check for updates.

If you are not familiar with the Aruna Send Widget, it is a super convenient way to send files. It sits on your desktop (both Mac and Win) in the background and whenever you want to send a file, just drag and drop it on the widget, enter an email address you want to send to and click send.

Aruna Send Widget is totally free and there is no signup required. Just send files for FREE! You can get the Aruna Yahoo Widget from here.

In our mission to make applications that are easy and convenient to use, it was only a matter of time before we start to offer other methods to access Aruna Send (other than the web). Today is the first public beta release of the Aruna Send Yahoo! Widget. If you don’t know about Widgets yet, they are handy mini applications that can easily be accessed at any time on your desktop. There is a good article that gives an overview of the major widget platforms available today.

For the first Aruna Send widget, we have chosen the Yahoo! widget platform. They have over 4000 widgets available now and all of them work cross platform on both Mac OS X and Windows. That was a major plus for us in the decision on where to develop first.

The aim of the widget is to make it as easy as possible for you to send files. For those who already are running widgets, just download the Aruna Send Widget and you can upload files and send them to whoever you wish. Your recipient will have 7 days to collect the file (this 7 day period may go up or down after the beta period). The widget itself does not expire but we will have future versions and updates that you will want to watch for periodically. No sign up or account is necessary to use the service.

For those who don’t have Yahoo! Widgets installed, it is easy.

1. Go over to http://widgets.yahoo.com and click on the Install button. The widget application will be installed.
2. Then download the Aruna Send widget. Just double click on the file ArunaSend.widget and it will be installed and you are ready to go.

The process is the same on both Mac and PC.

We will be putting the widget up on a Aruna Widgets project page soon. In the meantime, Aruna Send Widget is available immediately below. By downloading it you will be able to see what your recipient will see when they collect the files that you send them.
